Subagent Orchestrator

Manages the lifecycle, configuration, and synchronization of specialized sub-agents (Planner, Implementer, Reviewer, etc.) across various platforms (Claude, Copilot, OpenCode). Use this skill when you need to: (1) Sync sub-agent instructions from master templates, (2) Add new sub-agent definitions, (3) Update agent capabilities or permissions, or (4) Validate that agent instructions are in sync across platforms.

Sub-Agent Orchestrator

Manages the specialized AI agents that form the core of this engineering environment.

Overview

Specialized sub-agents are defined in master templates and then projected into tool-specific configurations. This skill ensures that your Planner, Implementer, Reviewer, and other agents remain consistent and highly capable regardless of the platform they are running on.

Workflow: Syncing Sub-Agents

Use this when you have modified a master template or the global metadata.

Run Sync Command:
```
./scripts/update-subagents.sh --agent=all --system=all --force
```
- --agent: planner, reviewer, implementer, coordinator, prompt-creator, or all.
- --system: copilot, opencode, claude, or all.
Verify Synchronization:
```
./scripts/validate-subagents.sh
```
- This ensures that the content (excluding headers) is identical between different system implementations.

Workflow: Adding a New Sub-Agent

Create Master Template: Create templates/subagents/master/<agent-name>.md with the core behavioral instructions.
Register in Metadata: Add the agent's entry to templates/subagents/master/METADATA.json.
- Define name, description, and examples.
- Specify header_lines for each target system.

Initialize Across Systems:

./scripts/update-subagents.sh --agent=<agent-name> --system=all --force
